We recently ordered from here for a work lunch and we're pleasantly surprised by the service,food and price! Everything was delicious, they had a tablecloths and name cards for the food and brought utensils and plates! We couldn't have been more pleased!

★★★★★ Enercon OAK in Oakland, CA — Posted Wed 12/21/16 on ezCater

Food is good, all employees are always happy with Thai Rice Spoon Catering. Many options for vegetarians. Staff is very friendly and polite. They do a great job setting up in our office as well. Will definitely order again.

★★★★★ Julie in Emeryville, CA — Posted Mon 12/12/16 on ezCaterMy favorite place to order from. We got the Pad Thai today and it was great!

★★★★★ Julie in Emeryville, CA — Posted Sun 11/27/16 on ezCaterThai rice is quickly becoming an office favorite (side note, the people who own this business are awesome!) We ordered the mixed veggies, rice and yellow curry and it was delicious. They arrived right on time and got everything set up quickly. We will absolutely order from them again!

★★★★★ Hannah C. Oakland Posted November 6,2016 on Yelp I really cannot say how happy we are we found Thai Rice Spoon. My husband is Chinese and I am Mexican. We were searching for the perfect food for our wedding and Thai was it!

Tumi is truly one-of-a-kind and we had a wonderful experience working with her as we prepared the menu, paid for everything, and down to the day of. She professional, detail oriented, and really works with her clients to ensure a unique and outstanding event.

Tumi and her staff are so wonderful to work with! The food was OUTSTANDING! Our guests are still raving about how good everything was. Not only was the food delicious, the presentation was beautiful!

We hope to host other parties just to have Thai Rice Spoon catering. =)

If you like/love Thai food, you have to try!!!

★★★★★ David A. San Francisco Posted 11/14/16 on Thumbtack

Definitely recommended for Thai catering in SF!

Tumi was an amazing caterer! Even before the event, she maintained great communication, usually responding within a few minutes of any of my questions and making sure that we were getting what we needed.

At the event itself, she came early as requested to set up and worked with us to make sure all the food could be laid out in the limited space we had, and on top of that she was extremely friendly.

Most importantly, her food was delicious, and our guests were quite excited to get Thai food. One person noted how it was the first time they'd had Thai food at a game press event instead of the typical burgers and sliders fare.

I'd definitely recommend Tumi's company for anyone looking to cater an event in San Francisco, as she was personable, professional, and had great food. It was great meeting you, Tumi!

★★★★★ Cheryl in San Francisco, CA — Posted Fri 11/04/16 on ezCaterDelicious food and the nicest staff and presentation. Thai Rice Spoon has never disappointed us!

★★★★★ Jessica T. San Francisco Posted 10/31/2016 on Yelp

Tumi was amazing to work with. We can't speak any higher of her, her food, and service. She catered our wedding for 120 people and totally killed it. The Thai food was absolutely delicious. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the Thai samosa appetizers. Another favorite was the yellow curry - top notch!

Thank you so much Tumi! You truly made our wedding extra special.

★★★★★ Johanna P. Posted October 30, 2016 on Thumbtack

Birthday party success!

Tumi was very responsive, pleasant to communicate with, flexible with the menu and made my budget work. Everything went as planned and the guests at my birthday party all commented on the good food! I did not have to cook for my 60th and it was so much easier to have it catered. I liked that they just dropped it off, well organized, and then I could set it up the way it worked best for my party.

★★★★★ Paul And Cat M. Posted 10/26/2016 on Yelp

I absolutely love Thai Rice Spoon. I use different caterers for events at work often and we tried Thai Rice Spoon because we were disappointed with our previous caters. I absolutely love the service level here. We purchase the "drop-off" catering which usually involves caterers literally dropping off the food. Thai Rice Spoon takes it to another level. They bring a plastic table cloth for the area they are putting the food, they mix some of the food at the location, they bring labels for each type of entree including gluten free/contains nuts, etc. I forgot to mention the food is so yummy --- the yellow curry is amazing!

They are always on time (not too early, not too late) and just plain nice. I will continue to use them at least monthly and possibly an event at home :)

Thank you Thai Rice Spoon -- You guys are the best!

★★★★★ Cheryl in San Francisco, CA — Posted Wed 10/26/16 on ezCaterThai Rice Spoon is the best! They're friendly and their set up is always nice and the food is always good!

★★★★★ Catalina in Emeryville, CA — Posted Tue 10/25/16 on ezCaterI could not be any happier with Thai Rice Spoon. Not only are they always on time but the entire set up it so thoughtful. They bring their own table cloth, labels for all the food including (what type of food it is/gluten free/ contains nuts) . The entire presentation is better then any other caterer I've used on ezCater. I'm going to use them for all our events + I'm even thinking of using them for parties at home.

★★★★★ Barbara M. San Francisco Posted 10/22/16 on YelpI recently reached out to Tumi of Thai Rice Spoon Catering to engage her for one of our staff weekly lunches (approximately 80 employees).

Tumi was extremely pleasant to talk with and consult for an appropriate menu, staying within my budget. She and her assistant were on-time and set-up the delicious looking food.

Our staff devoured the excellent food and afterward, many of them made a point to tell me how much they enjoyed the meal. This isn't the easiest group to please, so thank you Tumi for making the day!

The food was great! Delivered on time. Owner was super sweet and easy to work with and very accommodating. Thank you Tumi! we can't wait to order again :)

★★★★★ Leslie S. San Francisco Posted 10/8/16 on YelpI had the chance to work with Tumi this month. She was the caterer for a wedding with 120+ guests at the venue where I produce events.

Tumi was incredibly responsive during the organization process, gave plenty of menu options, amazing prices and the day of the wedding, she was just amazing! All the guests were impressed and loved the food. The dishes stayed hot during the entire entire time that they were displayed.

Tumi set up a buffet with 6 different options: vegan vegetable curry, tofu pad Thai and a few meat dishes as well. She brought in flowers and decorations that made the decor look even better. The bride and groom brought in a cake that Tumi cut beautifully. She provided coffee service after dessert.

Her staff was professional, on time and made sure the venue stayed clean during the entire event.

Tumi is extremely friendly and her food really stands out from other catering companies and restaurants. It is authentic Thai food and you can immediately taste the difference. I highly recommend working with her and can't wait to organize another event with her by my side!

★★★★★ Jessica W. San Francisco Posted 10/6/16 on Yelp

I discovered Tumi and Thai Rice Spoon Catering via Thumbtack and I am so glad to have found her! Tumi was prompt and professional throughout our entire interaction, providing menu options with a variety of options to help accommodate my gluten free coworkers, as well as clear and reasonable pricing for the event.

When the food arrived (on time and still hot despite traveling from the East Bay to SF), my coworkers couldn't wait to dig in! Tumi even set up the food in a gorgeous spread, laying out all of the garnishes and sauces along the food assembly line. This attention to detail did not go unnoticed and is proof that Tumi and Thai Rice Spoon Catering are the real deal! Everyone absolutely loved the food and that we got such a nice variety of foods, I can't recommend Tumi enough! I will absolutely use Tumi again for any of our office events.

★★★★★Admin in Oakland, CA — Posted Thu 09/08/16 on ezcater Best Thai Food in the Bay Area! If you really want to impress, order some FRESH entrees from this place! Best service - you will not be disappointed!

★★★★★-Connor and Mosaic Solar Oakland Post 7/7/16 on Thumbtack

Everything was delicious! The restaurant owner delivered the food, she was very professional and wonderfully nice. One of the clients stopped me mid-presentation to ask where the food was from! Will order again!

★★★★★ Amy in Berkeley, CA — Posted Tue 06/07/16 on EZcater

If I could give her 10 stars I would!!! Tumi is by far the best caterer I've ever worked with, and her food is always on point. We discovered her through EZcater, but began sending our orders directly to her. Quick response. She's great with last minute orders for groups of 50-60, she's always on time. She sets up everything and always adds a nice touch of decor.If you love good fresh Thai Food... Order from her!

"Everything went well in terms in set-up, presentation and tear down. The food was tasty and the staff was friendly and helpful."

★★★★★ Jennifer Madden Post 6/30/2016 on Thumbtack

"Tumi catered our son’s bar mitzvah held outside. She was so helpful, fun, and easy to work with. She came to our house early to bring dishes to taste, answered questions by email immediately, and made the planning really easy. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Tumi and her team worked so well with us at the event, and helped me feel like a guest at my event so I could really enjoy it, instead of running around worrying about details. She even took photographs and videos of the eating and dancing, and sent them to me afterwards, which was just an extra treat. I highly recommend working with Tumi for catering any event because of her warm, playful, and caring personality, her attention to details, her aesthetic, and her delicious cooking.”

Solange Gould e-mail to ThaiRiceSpoon@gmail.com on 6/5/2016

Fantastic food and really reasonably priced! Tumi was also a delight to work with. Highly recommend if you're getting catering for an event and don't have a huge budget.

★★★★★ Oksana S. at California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco Posted 6/3/16 on Thumbtack

Amazing service and generally a pleasure to work with

★★★★★ Ricardo C. at Comet Labs company in San Francisco Posted 5/6/16 on Thumbtack

We had Tumi cater a lunch at our wedding for a large group of Indians and Americans (80). We hired them without doing a single tasting and were very impressed with how the food turned out. The eggplant dish was a hit as were many of the tofu dishes. Chicken Pad Thai was delicious as well. The chicken was succulent and not dry. She is happy to customize your spice level to meet your audience. There was plenty of food and Tumi was incredibly patient and helpful as I revised my menu at least five times. I appreciated that the food was not only delicious, but the presentation was terrific. Would highly recommend her. Way better than many Thai restaurants I've eaten at (and reviewed!)

We hired Tumi and her team at Thai Rice Spoon Catering for our recent post-wedding reception in San Francisco. From first contacting her for a quote, through to arranging tastings, and then the actual process of nailing down a menu, she was infallibly helpful, cheerful, and accommodating.Both during and after our reception, we received feedback from our guests about the great food and service. During the family-style sit down dinner, serving platters were continuously replenished until everyone was stuffed, everything was so tasty. We ordered enough food to feed 50 people for a party of 40, and were happy to have the leftovers the next day.

Such nice small touches that went a long way!★★★★★ Lauren at Amyris Inc company Posted 2/11/2016 on Thumbtack

Food was really good, way more than I was expecting. The owner of the company came on the delivery since this was our first order from Thai Rice Spoon. She was so nice and made sure that the food was displayed nicely. I will definitely order from them again.

Event Catering (Drop-off) Verified Review I manage a training program in San Francisco that runs for 7 weeks, twice a week in the evening. As I was trying to schedule three caterers for the various evenings, Tumi kept in constant contact, responded when she said she would and delivered a very tasty meal at a reasonable price. I have hired her to cater more evenings and our graduation dinner which is the most important one of the program. I would highly recommend Tumi and Thai Rice Spoon Catering.

★★★★★Lourdes G. on June 19, 2015 on Thumbtack

I attended a private party catered by Thai Rice Spoon and was blown away! Not only was everything delicious, but the presentation was fantastic: bamboo placemat/trays in front of each chafing pan with different sauces to accompany every dish with little placards conveying the varying levels of spicyness, sure to satisfy both ends of that spectrum, as well a variety of dishes across the meat/veggie spectrum. Will definitely use and recommend in the future.

★★★★★Nail H. Richmond CA Posted 6/2/2015 on Yelp

Thai Rice Spoon catered a party of mine on the recommendation of a friend and they delivered in a huge way. Beautiful and tasty spread - chicken satay, pad thai, eggplant basil, dumplings were all excellent. My favorite were the shrimp rolls and the special SAUCES. Each dish had its own unique sauce to accompany it which really elevated it. Highly recommend.

★★★★★Peter L. Oakland CA. Posted 6/20/2015 on Yelp
